TEMPE, Ariz. – An annual charity golf tournament hosted by CCBill during The Phoenix Forum conference donated $800 in proceeds from the 2015 event to assist the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection in its mission of protecting children from exploitation. The 2015 donation brings the total funds donated by the X2K Charity Golf Tournament to $10,000.

“X2K is proud to work with CCBill and provide a great event to kick off each year’s Phoenix Forum,” said X2K President Stephen Bugbee. “The fact that we get to have a great day while creating awareness as well as raising money for such a great cause as the ASACP is amazing.”

Each year, the X2K Charity Golf Tournament brings together players from all across the community for a fun-filled, relaxing and amicably competitive day on the links. Taking place just prior to The Phoenix Forum, golfers are typically attendees and sponsors of that three-day event. While the golf and CCBill-sponsored happy hour are highlights for the participants, the overarching goal is to help ASACP achieve its ongoing mission.

“ASACP is extremely grateful for all of the support extended to it by The Phoenix Forum, CCBill and special fundraisers such as X2K’s annual charity golf tournament,” said Executive Director Tim Henning. “ASACP relies on the generosity of its sponsors, members and contributors, without whom we would not enjoy the record of success we have had on behalf of the industry — and on behalf of at-risk children.

“The Phoenix Forum and X2K’s annual charity golf tournament also provides ASACP with the opportunity to reach an exclusive gathering of adult industry professionals and to convey its message of proactive industry self-regulation,” Henning added.

Gary Jackson, managing vice president of sales and internet markets for CCBill, said his company is honored to participate as part of its own mission: serving not only the financial-processing needs of the adult industry, but also helping to shape a globally and ethically aware community.

“The importance of what ASACP and Tim do and the dedication each displays to our community and industry cannot be overstated,” Jackson said. “As a title sponsor of ASACP and proud member of its advisory board, all of us at CCBill take pride in holding ourselves to the standards set out in the Ethics and Code of Conduct policies developed jointly with ASACP, and we are happy to be part of the great X2K event that helps support the association.”
